Hi everyone! Thanks for reading the first chapter and continuing to read this one! 3
Thank you very much, Aloasa, for your review. *Hands cookies* And to answer your question don't worry, Gwen isn't going to turn jealous or anything.
As I dry off and quickly throw on some clothes, I think about Trent. I get upset with myself for thinking about him, but I can't help it. My friends at school always said I got crushes on guys reaalllllyyy fast, but I felt like this one was different. Sighing, I run over to the campfire pit, where, guess who, Trent is waiting.
"Welcome to Camp Wawanakwa!" Chris grins, albeit we had arrived about twenty minutes ago. We're all sitting at the campfire pit, on tree stumps. Guess who I'm sitting next to? Ding, ding, ding, you guessed correctly! Trent. Of course, I tried very subtly to make it look like I had no idea he was sitting there. Keyword "tried". "Your home for the next eight weeks. The campers sitting around you will be your cabin mates." Chris continues, and I can't help but sneak a sideways glance at Trent. "Your competition. And maybe even your friends. You dig? The camper who manages to stay on Total Drama Island the longest, without getting voted off will win 100,000 dollars!"
"Excuse me?" A guy wearing a skull shirt with a green mohawk says. "What will the sleeping arrangements be? Because I'd like to request a bunk under her." He jerks his thumb to a pretty girl with long, grayish-brown hair.
"They're not co-ed are they?" She asks.
"No. Girls get one side of the cabin, and dudes get the other." Chris replies, and I can't help but feel just the tiniest bit disappointed. Once again, I mentally slap myself. What is with me today?
"Excuse me, Kyle? Can I have a cabin with a lake-view since I'm the prettiest?" A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes asks. I think her name is Lindsay.
"Okay, you are. But that's not really how it works here. And, it's Chris." He says, slightly annoyed.
"I'll have to live with Sadie, or, I'll die!" A girl says.
"And I'll break out in hives! It's true!" Another girl says, wearing a matching outfit to her friend.
"This cannot be happening." Gwen, or at least I'm pretty sure that's her name, mutters.
"Aw, c'mon guys, it'll be fun!" A, er, large, guy with blonde hair says, grabbing Gwen and another guy in headlocks. "It's like a big sleepover!"
"Here's the deal. We're gonna split you into two teams. If I call your name out, go stand over there." He says, and I can't help but hope I'm going to be on the same team as…well, by this point, you probably know. "Gwen, Trent, Heather, Cody, Lindsay, Beth, Katie, Carter, Owen, Leshawna, Justin, and Noah. From this moment on, you are officially known as…" He throws Owen a flag. "The Screaming Gophers!"
"Yeah! I'm a Gopher! Whooo!" Owen cheers, and I giggle. Probably from giddiness of the fact that I'm on Trent's team. I shake my head at myself. There's a 0.000005% chance he will ever, ever, like me.
"Wait…what about Sadie?!" Katie asks, but Chris ignores her.
"The rest of you over here. Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Tyler, Sadie, Izzy, Courtney, Ezekiel, Duncan, Eva, and Harold! Move, move, move, move!" Chris shouts.
"Wait! How come their team gets one more player?" Courtney asks.
Chris ignores her.
"But Katie's a Gopher! I have to be a Gopher!" Sadie shouts, and I can't help but feel sympathetic for them. Chris hands the other team their flag, then continues on with his…uh…speech.
"Alright campers, you and your team will be on camera in all public areas of this competition. You also will be able to share your innermost thoughts on tape with video diaries anytime you want. Let the audience at home know what you're really thinking. Or, just get something off your chest. Alright, any questions? Cool. Let's find your cabins. Gophers, you're in the east cabin. Bass, you're in the west."
We all head into our cabins.
"Isn't this a little…summer camp?" Heather mutters.
"I think that's the idea, genius." Gwen retorts.
"Shut up, weird goth girl!" Heather shouts.
"Um…can't we all just try to get along? We've only just met each other!" I say, at a weak attempt to intervene. They both ignore me. I sigh, and start to unpack my stuff. I choose a bunk on the top, and look out the window, when suddenly someone screams. I jump, and realize it's coming from Lindsay, inside our own cabin.
"What is it? Kill it, kill it!" She wails. I gasp and jump on my bunk. It's a cockroach. Let's just say I dislike bugs.
Suddenly everyone in the room starts shrieking, when the guy with the green mohawk, Duncan, cuts the bug in half with an axe. Yuck.
"Well that's one way to kill a cockroach." Gwen smirks.
"Awesome…" Harold mutters.
Later, at around lunch time, we head into the mess hall where a scary-looking guy is shouting at everyone. I quickly grab my tray and sit across from Trent, this time not even realizing it. He looks a little pale and stares at his tray.
"Are you alright?" I ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just not sure this is edible…"He replies. I laugh.
"Neither am I." I smile, and for a moment, we both sit there smiling at each other, when a guy asks if we can order a pizza. A knife goes flying through the air. Scary. Chris comes in and announces our first challenge is an hour. I hope it's nothing too dangerous. As I poke and prod at the slop on my plate, I try to make some conversation with Trent. The whole time, I manages to blush only a little bit.
Yay me.
Thanks so much for reading! Review and you will get Trent dolls, like the one Kelsey made in Total Drama Action! :D
